After nearly a decade entrenched in her work at an arboretum near Monterrey, Priscilla del Canto returned home to care for her ailing mother, who was dying with a respiratory disease that local doctors could not quite identify. As she lay dying, she told her daughter she could see the Virgin. She was telling her that it was her time. She said she was following her and then her heart stopped, and Priscilla could sense her soul leaving her mother’s frail body. After the funeral, she decided to stay and help out her father with his garden, and took a job preparing the flower arrangements for all of the new hotels and she was good at it. She often ventured deep into the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre Oriental to seek out maidenhair ferns and rare black orchids.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.

A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.

The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
